It is also possible to receive Social Security disability (SSDI) compensation at this age, if you meet SSA qualifications.

You can file as early as age 62, but your benefits will be reduced to about 75% of the amount you would receive if you file at full retirement age.

Yes, under certain circumstances. A widow or widower who is disabled may collect survivors' benefits as early as age 50; however, the widow(er) must be at least 60 years old t…o collect survivors' retirement benefits. If the widow(er) has not yet reached full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), the benefit will be reduced. A spouse or divorced spouse of any age may collect survivors' benefits if caring for the deceased person's minor children who are under age 16. Ex-spouses are also eligible for survivors' benefits, using the guidelines above, if the marriage lasted at least ten years.

Yes. Your income is limited in several ways. First, at age 62 you would receive approximately 75% of the retirement benefit you would be eligible for if you waited until full …retirement age (most likely 66) to file. Second, although you may draw Social Security benefits and work at the same time, your earned income will be limited to $1,180 per month ($14,160/year) until you reach full retirement age. If you exceed the limit, SSA will withhold $1.00 in benefits for every $2.00 earned over the maximum. You would not receive any checks or deposits the following year until the overage is completely offset.

Yes, however if you begin drawing retirement benefits at age 62 you would only receive approximately 75% of the amount you would be entitled to by waiting until full retiremen…t age to file (66). Also, if you are earning more than $14,160 per year, your benefits will be temporarily reduced by $1.00 for every $2.00 you earn over the limit. If you earn enough income, filing early can become a zero-sum game. You can request a statement from Social Security to help determine whether drawing early benefits is in your best interest, or whether you should wait for now.

The earliest you can collect Social Security retirement benefits is age 62. You would be entitled to approximately 75% of the amount you would receive if you waited until full… retirement age (66) to retire. This amount will not increase when you reach full retirement age, so there is a penalty for filing early. The SSA does not make partial payments except when making adjustments to offset windfalls, other government pension checks, or excessive early retirement earnings. If you file for retirement benefits at age 62, they will pay the full monthly amount to which you're entitled.

Yes, a widow or widower can draw reduced survivors' benefits at age 60. In order to receive the full amount, you would have to wait until full retirement age (65 for people bo…rn before 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954) to file.

Yes.

You should check with your own state for its handling of the matter.

There are a number of potential monetary benefits that someone 52 may be eligible to collect under SSA either under their own earnings record or that of another signific…ant party (parent, step parent, spouse, divorced spouse, deceased spouse). * A disabled person on his/her own earnings record (social security disability benefits) * A disabled widow(er) between the ages of 50 - 60 (at age 60 he/she could be potentially entitled as a widow(er)) on the deceased person's earnings record (disabled widow(er) benefits) * A disabled child (an adult child who was found to be disabled prior to age 22 and eligible on a parent's earnings record (Adult disabled child benefits) * A mother in care of a child entitled on the earnings record of the other spouse (the child would need to be under age 16 or disabled and need the care of the party applying for daily care) (Child in care benefits). Additional requirements and factors of entitlement should be directed to a SSA representative for a more detailed account of what your particular case involves. Earnings limits apply in all these cases - some would fall under the annual earnings test and the cases where a disability is the factor of entitlement substantial gainful activity applies. Those amounts are set annually. However, if you are referring to SSA retirement benefits - the earliest age to collect retirement benefits is 62. The earliest to collect widow(er) benefits - no disability alleged, minor and/or children in care - is age 60. Again, earnings limits apply. ** note this is not an all inclusive response - please check with SSA for additional factors of entitlement and how they may apply to you! This is possible only if you become disabled; you cannot collect retirement income until age 62 or older.

Yes. According to the Social Security Administration, remarriage after age 60 does not affect your eligibility to receive benefits based on your late husband's work credits.
